And Now, From the People Who Brought You Beer Milkshakes...

You're Dave Lister!! You rock harder than aporn-star's bed springs and have the attitudeto match. And you LOVE curry.
You're probably still obsessed about the one thatgot away (Kochanski!!), and you like to saysmeg a lot.
But you have an awesome Liverpudlian accent, andyou're the only one who really knows when it'sbest to just stay in bed. Lucky for you thatsaved your smegging life!!

So I had busy day at work today. There was one lazy ass woman I had "the privilege" to to help all freaking morning. First, I helped her find a book in the catalog which is fine then I helped her find the book on the shelf which is also fine. Later she needed to make photo copies so was just going to show her how but then she just wanted me to do it! During this, paper fell behind the copier and she wanted me to get that. If I wasn't the nice person that I am I would seriously tell this chick to fuck off.

Tonight, there was a informational meeting about commencement. No tickets so if you're not doing anything on the morning of Sunday, May 16th, feel free to come up, down, or sideways to see me get a fake diploma which will then be exchanged for a real one later.

Marvel screwed the pooch with the Thor franchise from the beginning. They took the more modern notion that the Asgardians are aliens not gods. In itself, that's fine but I can't help but think that just made it more complicated not less. (Wonder Woman just killed them off which is better but that's still a big nitpick from me about THAT movie...)
I stopped regularly reading comics after I graduated college in the early part of the century so I don't know when secret identities became passé but I think this also hurt the franchise. Originally, instead of dropping Thor on his head and giving him amnesia, Odin put him the mortal body of Donald Blake and then Eric Masterson. (Was that a complaint about Ghost Rider? Same concept really...)
In Thor: Ragnarok, to me, this '90's era of the comic where Eric Masterson WAS Thor was the best run of the comic and there were many Easter eggs from that period from Thor's Earth garb (with Mjolnir disguised as an umbrell…

Checking my Facebook Memories this morning, it is apparently the anniversary of my review of Jessica Jones. In many reviews of The Punisher, Jessica Jones is the pinnacle all other Marvel Netflix (or in some cases, Marvel shows on any network but that's a post for another time...) must be held to. I'll tell you straight out, I personally enjoyed both seasons of Daredevil more so... (Hell, The Punisher had a less annoying support cast...)
For reasons I didn't consider back then and don't care about now, comic books in the '90's saw the creation of more violent characters to presumably dispel the notion comics weren't just for kids. Ironman, Thor, Captain America and, perhaps ironically, Batman got more gritty counterparts and the Punisher (and Deadpool) was created. Like most superheroes, Frank Castle's origins begin with the death of a family member; in his case, ALL OF THEM. In comics, it was due to be caught in the crossfire of a mob shootout…

When I wrote my blog post on the previous Netflix series, Luke Cage, I noted it was only about 90% as dark as Daredevil and Jessica Jones. Iron Fist is only about 90% as dark as that series.While that does make me question the Mature rating, I have no problem with that.

I feel in the mood to structure at least the beginning of this review on my feelings on complaints I've heard

1. The acting and writing: I'm sure my bar is lower than others but I feel people who feel the strongest about this have never watched movies on Lifetime or Hallmark. (Oddly, I read a comment on Twitter from a complainer that he had higher hopes for Cloak and Dagger on Freeform than Inhumans on ABC. Special effects budget, sure but writing and acting? I think that's an iffy wager at best but I digress.)

Finn Jones and Jessica Henwick are great as Danny Rand and Colleen Wing. Danny to me is just as a 25 year old man who spent 15 years cut off from the world as he knew it in a monastery (think ster…
